Yom Kippur begins at sundown on 1-Oct-2025 & ends at nightfall on 2-Oct-2025. The key biblical verses are Leviticus 16 and Leviticus 23–32, which detail the rituals performed by the high priest, including the use of a bull, a ram, and two goats—one sacrificed and the other sent into the wilderness as a scapegoat. - Thank you AI, I will take it from here.
BECAUSE the Fall Feasts of the LORD are directly related to how God is going to SPIRITUALLY RESTORE Israel, the scapegoat sent into the wilderness of Sin (Zin means sin) and it is prophetically speaking of the 2,000 year exile of the Jews from Israel) - we must look at the two goats from that perspective.
The ritual of the 2 scapegoats, 1 sacrificed and the other sent out into the wilderness of Sin, carrying the sins of the people of Israel. Popular interpretation of this is that Yeshua/Jesus was represented in both the sacrificed goat and the one sent out into the wilderness - which makes no sense to me.
I have always seen the scapegoat as Israel in exile. Yeshua was sacrificed for the sins of all mankind, then Israel was sent out into the wilderness of sin truly made a scapegoat as God set Israel aside for a season in order to bring the nations into salvation by faith. How can anything else be true of the scapegoat?
I even think this is exactly what God is referring to in Zechariah 1:14-16 Then the angel who was speaking with me said, “Proclaim this word: This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, ***but I am fiercely angry with the nations that are at ease. For I was a little angry, but they have added to the calamity.’ *** Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I will return to Jerusalem with mercy, and there My house will be rebuilt, declares the LORD of Hosts.
AI told me I was "wrong" about the scapegoat being Israel. Just made me more confident that I got that idea from the HOLY SPIRIT years ago.
